Yep, that's right. My little Austin Boo is crawling! He's been making strides all week, working a little harder and harder each day to make forward movement. But today was officially the first day that I put Austin down in one spot in the playroom, walked into kitchen, and returned to Austin on the complete opposite side of where I left him. And what did he crawl toward? Drake's orange ball. It seems to be his absolute favorite toy these days. But, when Austin dropped the ball, Drake went to fetch it up, and didn't give it back, resulting in big tears from little Austin. And I thought I would have to referee between Austin and Cooper.
Cooper has been so excited and encouraging of Austin, giving him a "fireman badge" each time Austin crawls. I took a picture of Austin with all of his fireman badges. I lost count, but he earned at least eight from Fireman Cooper.
So proud of earning all of his fireman badges! Can you see them? They are all over his tummy. ;)
Getting into crawling position...
And ready! Yep, he kind of crawls like a crab. (And sorry these are blurry. My favorite lens is having issues.)
Before he fully started crawling forward, he would crawl backward and get a little stuck. I would find him under chairs, under the kitchen table, or in the corner behind a door.
And he usually had this look on his face.
Not sure if I'm ready for this crawling stage, but there's no turning back now!
